PRO Number
Pro00125689
Researcher
Jihad Obeid

List of Studies


Keywords
Cholesterol, Dementia, Drug Studies, Geriatrics, Healthy Volunteer Studies, Heart, Memory Loss, Stroke Recovery
Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine if an already FDA approved drug called atorvastatin can help adults, age 75 or older, live well for longer by preventing dementia, disability, or heart disease. Participants will be assigned by chance to receive either atorvastatin (study drug) or a matching placebo (a tablet that looks like atorvastatin but does not contain any medicine). Study engagement may last up to five years and involves in clinic and/or remote visits, survey questions, potential blood draws, in addition to memory and physical tests. After the first 1-2 visits performed in clinic or remote, the study team will follow-up via phone on a yearly basis to see how participants are doing. Participants will be compensated for their time and participation in this research study.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for MCI: A Phase II Dose-Ranging Study

Date Added
March 21st, 2023
PRO Number
Pro00127160
Researcher
Andreana Benitez

List of Studies


Keywords
Aging, Alzheimers, Depression, Memory Loss
Summary

This is a Phase II research study to determine dosing of non-invasive brain stimulation for patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and current or past depression. The brain stimulation treatment used in this study is called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). rTMS is a Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved treatment for depression. The goal of the study is to see if brain stimulation can be used for MCI patients to improve memory, thinking, and mood, and what dose of stimulation works best.

The study uses a form of rTMS called intermittent theta burst rTMS (accelerated iTBS). This treatment has not been FDA-approved for MCI patients. This double-blind study requires 11 study visits over the course of six months.
